Oscar Pistorius formally charged

Updated: 01:19, Saturday February 16, 2013

A sobbing Oscar Pistorius has been formally charged with the Valentine's Day murder of his model girlfriend.

The
26-year-old Paralympian gold medallist wept on Friday as Pretoria
magistrate Desmond Nair announced a single charge of killing blonde
covergirl Reeva Steenkamp.

The double amputee sat hunched as the
court was told prosecutors would argue the murder was premeditated, a
charge that could carry a life sentence.

Steenkamp, 29, who was
due to appear in a celebrity reality show from this weekend, was shot
four times at Pistorius's upmarket Pretoria home in the early hours of
Thursday.

She was shot with his 9mm pistol, suffering wounds to the head and hand and died at the scene.

The
Beeld newspaper, which first broke the dramatic news of his arrest,
said on Friday the shots that killed Steenkamp were fired through a
bathroom door, but there has been no police confirmation of this.

Pistorius
had been expected to make an application for bail on Friday, but the
hearing was postponed until Tuesday to allow the defence more time to
prepare. He will remain in police custody until then.

Known as
Blade Runner because of his carbon fibre prostheses, Pistorius has
inspired millions by becoming the first double-amputee to compete
alongside able-bodied athletes at the Olympics.

Journalists from around the world crammed in the courtroom to cover the case.

Police,
who were called to Pistorius's home about 4am on Thursday, denied
initial reports that Pistorius had shot Steenkamp, his girlfriend since
late last year, after mistaking her for a burglar.

Steenkamp,
once an FHM cover girl, was described as 'the kindest, sweetest human
being; an angel on earth,' by Sarit Tomlins of her management agency.

Born in Cape Town, she grew up in Port Elizabeth where she graduated with a degree in law.

Police said there had been previous allegations of domestic disputes at Pistorius's home.

'There
were always rumours attracted to Oscar Pistorius, but most of them I
just put down to him being a celebrity,' said Kyle Wood, 25, a fellow
resident of the gated community.

In 2009, Pistorius spent a night in jail after allegedly assaulting a 19-year-old woman at a party.

He
has often spoken publicly about his fondness for guns. Last year a UK
newspaper reported that he has a pistol, machine gun, cricket bat and
baseball bat placed around his home for fear of burglars.

In
November, Pistorius tweeted about arriving home and hearing the washing
machine on 'and thinking it's an intruder to go into full combat recon
mode into the pantry! waa'.

Pistorius is known as an adrenaline
junkie, with a love of speed reflected in a passion for motorbikes.

Four years ago he crashed his boat in a river south of Johannesburg,
breaking two ribs, an eye socket and his jaw.

Empty alcohol bottles were found in the boat, but he was not tested for alcohol.

Any problems off the track were eclipsed by his athletics success.

The
Johannesburg-born athlete won gold in the 4x100m relay and the 400m
individual at the Paralympic Games in London. He was triple gold
medallist in the Beijing games in 2008.

He was named by Time Magazine last year as one of the world's 100 most influential people.

Pistorius had both legs amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old after being born without lower leg bones.

Sponsors are now racing to distance themselves from the sprinter.

A South African pay television channel has canned a campaign featuring the runner.

There
was no immediate comment from global sports giant Nike on its
sponsorship of Pistorius, whom it featured in an advert showing the
runner setting off from the starting blocks with the line 'I am the
bullet in the chamber'.

How many times has it been that NASA and other organizations monitoring Earth's atmosphere and beyond,informed us of how the likelihood of any object, let alone a falling meteor, doing any significant damage and/or loss would be minimal at best? Well today, this 15th of February, 2013 about the Russian Ural mountain region of Chelyabinsk, Russia, many residents not only saw a heavenly body falling to earth, they experienced the results of an impact as well.

The meteorite explosion in the stratosphere sent out an impact wave which damaged quite a few structures, including blowing out thousands of windows. This further complicates dealing with the frigid winter.

There have been reports of hundreds seeking medical attention for minor injuries. Nearest reports are about 950 people have sought medical attention in Chelyabinsk alone, according to the region's governor, Mikhail Yurevic. Of these, over 110 have required hospital attention, with 2 of them in more serious condition. 159 of the injured were children according to an Emergency Ministry representative.
